this whole fiscal cliff discussion while it may have its imaginary dimensions, has a real effect. you're seeing a decline in confidence. there will be a slowdown in the economy. it is true the country can cobble together a deal in the new year, but in the meantime, there will be a lag in which you will see an economy that is already weak further weakened. but i want to go back to something. we have to start creating jobs. this debt-based economic system where the next discussion is 16 -- $16.4 trillion, will we not only over the cliff but in default is the wrong discussion. why aren't we creating jobs using the government's inherit power undeunder the constitution that we spend money to rebuild the infrastructure, put millions of people back to work, create new tax payers and you don't have to worry so much about unemployment benefits that are due to expire. it is the wrong discussion we are having. as we look into the new year, we got a couple of things going. there is a decrease in confidence in government. this is no longer about democrats or republicans. it is about the failur

in congress and the potential fiscal cliff we are facing and the elimination of the tax cuts. a lot of the small business owners i talked to and know are in favor of keeping the tax cuts in place especially for the middle class. we believe in balanced approach and we think it's ok to allow the elimination of the tax cuts for the wealthy. as taxes increase, the taxes at my business will be effected and i will have less to pay for investments and new equipment, hiring new people, but personally my income tax rates will go up. it's already a financially constrained environment. but customers tax rates will go up creating less demand for my products and less revenue for me and less tax revenue for the government. i want to urge congress and senators to vote for keeping our tax cuts in place, especially for the middle class and pushing our fiscal crisis to a balanced approach. go ahead and eliminate those tax cuts for the wealthiest individuals. if we all look at it and tried to consider what was going to work for the best, we needed to look at consumer demand. consumer demand is i

right now, the country's attention and that of the media is on the fiscal cliff, and i understand that. economy of the nation and the world may be at stake here. i think that sooner or later, there will be some kind of an agreement. will we are talking about here is a fundamental change in the ruling, the possibility of a fundamental change in the way the senate does business peeping basically changing the rules of the senate from either 60 votes, sometimes 67, to 51 votes, which would make as no different than the house of representatives, and of course would reduce us in many respects not to irrelevance in the minority party. here is the problem. on one side, the majority leader and the democrats are frustrated by their inability to move forward with legislation. every time there is an opposition to a motion to proceed, which takes days and then they proceed, and that has made the united states congress -- one of the reasons why the united states congress is judged the least productive congress since the year 1947. so, understandably the majority is frustrated with their inability to
